One of my photos of tiny mushrooms. As a photographer and nature therapist i love walking slowly down forest paths and looking for small details normally missed or ignored.

Just finished a row on this super intricate shawl I'm crocheting, only to realize I did the whole row incorrectly and now I have to take it out and do it again.
Just that one row took at least an hour.
Fuck.

Photograph of a woman in the sand at North Beach, Kauai I took several years ago. I used to do this professionally. Life took me in a different direction, but it's still a huge love of mine. #photography ##tylasmithartist

I made bone broth from the bones of the turkey yesterday and today I made turkey noodle soupfrom the broth and the veggies that cooked in the broth. It's so delicious and the perfect after Thanksgiving comfort food that came together super fast! Delicious.

I love these two so much. One is old, going blind, & is the sweetest, best girl ever. The other's a sensitive, strange, silly guy who let's me pet him as long as I don't look at him. They each show me love in such different ways, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. #dogsofbluesky #dogbesties

Anyone else miss writing and receiving letters in the mail?
I loved having penpals from all over the world. Anyone want to revive the "penpal" tradition with me?
If you live in another country that would be awesome, but if not that's OK too. :) Message me if you are interested.

Meanwhile... the wealthy are getting emails like this:

Because nothing says I'm totally willing to pay my fair share of taxes like a video outlining a strategy on how you can dodge taxes on your new super yacht purchase.

Life is scary.

Art is dangerous.

How's it possible for any1 w/more than 2 brain cells to do anything but KNOW, with their entire being, that this is an infantile, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, fragileegoed, spoiled brat losing what little resemblance he had to a barely functioning human manchild as the dementia & psychosis set in?!
Yet another insane and nonsensical fartweet by the orange baby man.

Almost nothing better than a cuppa black tea in your favorite mug and a homemade cookie on a cold and rainy #PNW afternoon.
